Wonderful Stay with Matterhorn Views

friendly staff balcony room matterhorn view

I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. My room faced the Matterhorn and included a balcony. I could bring my own food and drinks to an open area with tables to gaze at the Matterhorn. The hotel had an elevator, a kettle, and tea in the room.

The pillows were not good. I'm not happy with that

central location helpful staff diverse breakfast

The location is central, yet quiet. The staff is very nice and helpful. The breakfast is diverse, with regional and seasonal options. I had a room with a Matterhorn view. It was wonderful.

The pillows in the room could be better.
